Ebook Download: Resurrecting the Street after 9/11

RESURRECTING THE STREET will be free between September 7th  and September 11th.

Resurrecting the Street: Overcoming the Greatest Operational Crisis in History is an account of the impacts of the September 11, 2001 terrorism attacks on the World Trade Center on the financial markets, with a focus on the trading and settlement of US Government Securities. The author, Jeff Ingber, used dozens of first person interviews with traders, brokers, dealers, regulators, and other financial professionals that witnessed the airplanes striking the buildings, ran for safety when they collapsed, helped injured co-workers and strangers, and then returned hours later to rebuild the trading and settlement systems.

The events of 9/11 presented the financial industry with the greatest operational crisis in its history. Every major market was closed.  A significant amount of critical infrastructure was destroyed. Key officials were killed; others could not be located. Massive amounts of critical data were lost, and there was a crushing inability to communicate, locate or verify information.

Press Release – Free Book Announcement

With the anniversary of 9/11 looming, Jeff Ingber has released a newly updated edition of his ground-breaking book RESURRECTING THE STREET.  This book has been hailed as a gripping and detailed analysis of how the financial industry recovered, which required the willpower, wisdom, and unprecedented cooperation among fierce competitors.

Book Review: We’re Not Leaving

Last night I finished reading We’re Not Leaving.

This book changed me. 

This book changed the way I remember 9/11.

This book changed the way I want to respect and honor the responders to 9/11.

This book changed the way I understand post traumatic stress. 

I am grateful to the oral histories contributed by responders that participate in the Long Island World Trade Center Medical Screening program.

I only watched television for a few hours on the morning of 9/11. Then for much of the next week my only news of the ongoing events was mostly through the radio and news magazines. In the months after 9/11 I remained fairly disconnected to media about the ongoing recovery of bodies and personal effects from the Pile. Again I am extremely grateful, in a new and more profound way, to the responders and all of the people that supported the immediate rescue and long term recovery efforts at the World Trade Center.

In two weeks I am visiting New York City and have already reserved tickets to visit the World Trade Center Memorial. My thoughts will be with the people that died on 9/11, the responders that have died since, and the friends and family of the victims of the 9/11 attacks. Even though it feels inadequate as I humbly type these words, thanks for your sacrifice.

Note: Last month I interviewed Dr. Benjamin Luft about We’re Not Leaving. Listen to our conversation.
